OTTAWA, June 28 (Reuters) - Canada's economy grew by 0.1
percent in April from March - the fourth consecutive
month-on-month advance - on gains by service industries,
Statistics Canada said on Friday.

The modest increase matched analysts' expectations. The Bank
of Canada forecasts that second-quarter growth on an annualized
basis will be 1.8 percent, down from the 2.5 percent in the
first quarter.

The output of service industries expanded by 0.3 percent in
April. Goods production fell by 0.3 percent on a decline in
mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction.

Wholesale trade and retail trade advanced by 0.6 percent and
0.5 percent, respectively, while the finance and insurance
sector grew by 0.6 percent.

Manufacturing grew by 0.2 percent with durable goods output
up by 0.5 percent on gains in computer and electronic products.
Non-durable goods production dropped by 0.3 percent on declines
in petroleum and coal products.
